Everything Masks

Your child's teeth is your pride!!!

I use to witness a lot of mouth odour in children. And I usually frown at it because I know in most cases it is as a result of improper brushing.

There was this case that was so severe, I had to ask the mother... I don't take anything about oral health lightly, that's the first thing I notice in people once I start a conversation with you whether you are an adult or a child... I assess the oral cavity very well.

So back to my story... The mom said the child doesn't allow anybody to brush his teeth, that he will always cry each time you want to help him. I couldn't believe my ears 🙆🙆.

I went further to ask her if she doesn't notice the chronic mouth odour, she said she bought mouth wash and mint sweet for him to be using🙄🙄 ... I'm talking about a child of 4years ooo.

I can't say I wasn't disappointed... Because this is something that proper brushing can stop since the child's oral cavity is still developing.

Please parents, From 0 - 5 years, brush your child's teeth by yourself. And before you leave them to start doing it by themselves... Make sure you teach them the proper way to brush. It is appalling to perceive bad odour from a child's mouth.
